Nineteenth Place Tau Ring for 19th Place Winners at the Sochi Russian Winter Olympics

 Switzerland is the first nation to receive a 19th Place Tau Ring at the Winter Sochi Russian Olympics.  Tau is the 19th letter in the Greek Alphabet thus athletes who place 19th deserve this accolade. 

Thus Jan Scherrer is the first person to ever earn this token at a Winter Olympics.
